RE:RE:RE:RE:Sensationalist JournalismAnd 2 million Colombian pesos is $682 USD, not $680,000 with the extra 3 zeros to make it look like a bigger loss to fool ignorant people

Entering dlares into google translate gives dollars. Or are you saying i am too ignorant to google translate again?
If it was 2m colombian pesos or $680 USD, then 90 days x $680 is $61.2k which would make even less sense. That would be really great because the stoppage would cost virtually nothing lol.
They obviously are trying to say how expensive it would be and saying the need to fire people because it cost so much. Some of those news sources can be leftist leaning and have their own agenda. Not necessarily unbiased news sources.
Funny how the article title does not say losing $2m a day, but Mole singles that out in the title of his post, which makes one wonder how unbiased Mole is. :-)
